First in an occasional series. SUPER HOT PICS from my forthcoming book, the Travels of Prince George of Denmark, to be published by Boydell and Brewer next year. First up: THE DANES
Cover Image: Antoine Benoist (1632—1717), Prince George of Denmark (1669), Clothed and wigged waxwork, in a wooden case, 114 x 74 x 58 cm, The Royal Danish Collection, Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen. Waxen George holds a yellowing hand to his heart, a gesture of sincerity. He is wearing classicizing costume, a parade armour over a white blouse. He has a curly blonde wig and looks his age - about 16/17. Unfortunately, his eyes have gone missing, leaving two black pits, making him look a bit like he's been possessed by a demon in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Albert Hælwegh after Karel van Mander III, Prins Jørgen (1665—1668), Engraving on paper inscribed in pen with the name, Ulricus Fridericus Guldenlöw, 336 x 245 mm, Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, no. KKSgb11968, open.smk.dk, public domain. This is a portrait of George's eldest natural brother, Ulrik Frederik Gyldenloeve. He acted as Ambassador to the Court of St James while George was touring England. Frans van Mieris (I), Portrait of Count Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve (1638—1704) (1662), Oil on panel, 31.5 x 22 cm, Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, no. KMSsp565, open.smk.dk, public domain. Last but not least, George's tutor and confessor and also the writer of the diary of his travels (which I have translated to make the book) Christen Jensen Lodberg! A doughty rationalist and devout Lutheran. Hubert Schaten (d. 1697), Christen Jensen Lodberg (1625—1693) (c. 1650-1697), engraving on paper, 11.5 x 17 cm, Kongelige Bibliotek, Copenhagen, public domain.
